Honeycomb ported to Nexus One, unfortunately you cannot make calls (PC World)

Until now, Android OS software imminent honeycomb Google was reserved for only the Tablet devices. In addition, other than a color Nook, there have been quite minimalistic hacks to try to get the operating system running on other platforms. A developer of XDA accepted the challenge of trying to get the honeycomb, working on a smartphone and he managed to some extent — here's the Nexus One running Android 3.0! But don't rejoice yet.

Forum member "bypass23" uses the honeycomb SDK to build a bootable ROM on your Nexus. He stresses that the SDK has remained virtually intact, paving the way for other developers willing to improve the user interface of the comb on phones. More information other than this is sadly lacking, even though we know that the trick is still a little green, so some areas still not working, or require workarounds clumsy. You know, important stuff like using your phone to make calls or write texts. According to a member who tried the hack for himself, however, Wi-Fi, camera, bluetooth, accelerometer and good work well, so you can have a little fun with the honeycomb.

It is therefore a nice trick in development, but don't forget the main point of having a phone to make calls and texts (Yes, not just playing cool apps!). Up to Bypass23 or other developers working on this hack to give him the nod, waiting for these important functions be added before you try it for yourself.

Check out the forum thread to see more screenshots of OS and what others are saying on the door.
